Title: Monticello Raceway Planning Summer Concerts in 2021 ++
Post by: amityvilleboy on June 11, 2020, 07:22:20 AM
Monticello may have new owners for the 2021-22 racing season.
Asian Investors have been studying the viability of purchasing
the old raceway.
It could cost as much as $15/20 million  in upgrades to present.."the new
Monticello Raceway".

 Monticello is basically just a track that  exports its
signal.It could be in Alaska ..or on an island..
The fan base plays it..just a matter of how many races they have and
what days the races are run.
why not run 7 -8 cards a week vs 4....nite time and a few
matinees?

Unfortunately my friend I highly doubt the lights around the track even work anymore to run any night time racing ..

Unfortunately, you're right....It is essentially a studio to broadcast a simulcast signal in "off-peak" day and time slots.

like I say....if I win the Poweraball  I buy Monti....and put a quick
25 million into the place and add hotel and bring back a small casino with
super odds on slots.
I will reboot the "whipping driver" in LED color lights and add
a cafeteria with a Prime Steak Special every Fr and Sa t nite.
hear me   FRiday and Sat  NITE.
15 races every card min purse $8000 open goes for $40k.
take out?   8%
I will be bringing back John Campbell Carmine, and Lachance.
No Ship ins....all on track..
Horses racing that day stay in Security barn 24 hours
Each trainer must post $25k Bond...if anu horses test positive  they forfeit
